Known ZEN4 Memory Leak on Windows 11 - Video To Get AMD To Fix Already?

[war59312]

Hi,

 

Since Oct 2023 AMD has continued to release broken AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition after broken driver.

 

Please see:

 

Memory leak on Zen4? - AMD Community

 

Can we please bring this to AMD's attention already and get it fixed?

 

Just nuts that this is still not fixed.

 

Best,

I have a Lenovo laptop with a Ryzen 5 7535U. I only have about 7 GB RAM so my RAM is always at 90% usage, but I don't seem to have this problem, and "AMD Software" only uses 80-100 MB of RAM.

 

I'm running Adrenalin Edition version 23.10.24.02, from 8/23/2023 - I thought I was using a newer version (lol) but I'm not going to update if there are problems in the latest software!

FYI you can't use Task Manger nor Process Explorer to confirm this problem.

 

But yes build 23.10.x is fine. FYI 23.11.1 is the latest known good driver. AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 23.11.1 Release Notes

 

So you could safely upgrade to 23.11.1 if you wish to.

 

You have to use tools such as FindZombieHandles @ Release 1.0.0 · BobVul/FindZombieHandles (github.com) and Object Explore @ zodiacon/ObjectExplorer: Explore Kernel Objects on Windows (github.com) and PoolMonX zodiacon/PoolMonXv3: Monitor Kernel pool allocations tags (github.com) to be able to confirm this issue.

 

It's because it's causing process/threads to zombie and tools like Task Manger can't see zombie processes. Can learn more about this Zombie problem at Zombie Processes – Pavel Yosifovich (scorpiosoftware.net)

I mean, as per the name, which is a good name scheme and I am exhausted by people who say otherwise. 

 

xx35y are all zen 3+ based cpu cores
xx30y are all zen 3 based cpu cores
xx20y are all zen 2 based cpu cores (not necessarily old zen 2 chips, most are die shrinks with new gpus)

 

xx40y are all zen 4 based cpu cores

xx45y are all zen 4 but the desktop version in a laptop

 

so you know what an 8740 is vs an 8735. both are the 2024 version of the chips, both are ryzen 7 tier, one is zen 4, the other is zen 3+
y tells you wattage. 

 

zen 5 with ai ruined the name as we go into the AI chips.
